took place between the front OF the
crowd rushing from the main floor and
the leaders of the throng which rushed
down the gallery stairs. The dead
lay mostly in opposing rows, the feet
of each row close to those OF the other,
one row OF heads lying toward the
gallery stairway, the other toward
the opposite side Of the hall. The
faces of the dead were distorted with
agonized expressions. The clothes
were completely torn from the bodies
OF some OF the victims A little girl,
since identified as Eva Marks, was
found lying at the bottom OF a pile OF
dead. Her lower limbs were bare and
the upper part OF her dress was torn
to shreds, showing that she had
fought hard for life. Isaac Levy, a
venerable Hebrew with long white
flowing hair and beard, was found
among the dead. He and his
wife were regular attendants at
the performances which had been
given in the hall. They always sat
near the door. It is thought from the
position in which his body was found
that Mr.. Levy, instead Of fleeing alone
when the panic started, renamed to
help and protect his WIFE, So the old
man was brushed down by the rushing
crowd and stamped to death. His
wife's body lay opposite. The woman
was in the prime Of life, and wore
brightly-colored clothes and quantis
ties Of jewelry. Beside her lay a little
boy whose knlcke1 bockers and stock
ings were torn to shreds.
A man named Thomas Goldberg
Says he went to the gallery of the hall,
accompanied by his wife and family.
They all sat together. The play was a
melodrama called sThe Spanish Clip
sy girl" During the performancesome
boys,in order 70 obtain better view OF
the stage, climbed up an exposed gas
pipe fixed along the wall. This strained
the pipe and started a leak. Mr..
the leak and some one shouted ''turn
off the meter ~ This shout was raised
simultaneously With a cry of alarm
from one of the actors on the stage. Z
Then the people i'll the gallery rose
and rushed headlong down the stairs.
Mr.. Goldbergs wife was torn away
from him and trampled to death. His
sixteen-year-old son jumped upon the
heads of the packed mass, and escap-
ed by running over them. The mana
gers are not to blame for the disaster.
The passage from the hall to the
street entrance is ten feet wide where
the struggle occurred, and the doors
swung both ways. There are several
minor exits from the gallery-three
beside the staircase. The disaster
arose, not from the crowding OF the
passage, but from the frantic efforts
of the people in the gallery to force
their way down the crowded STAIRS.
The men an women in front were driven
headlong into the passage, where they
met the excited occupants Of the pit,
and there was a hopeless block

early in the morning, on some exhilar-
5ating expedition, it it is pleasant to
notice how lively and expansive they
are. For the first hour they talk all at
once, Laughing their words rather than
speaking them. But as the forenoon
goes on, one after another drops grad
ually into comparative quiet and 81
5lence. It is not that they have ceas-
ed to enjoy the excursion and each
other, but the efervesecnce OF the I'M
corked animal spirits OF the morning
has spent itself.
In a similar fashion, as we get on in
life past the period Of obstreperous
youth, we incline to talk less and,
write less, especially on the topics
which we have most at heart. The
younger people notice this and think
it is because we are growing lukewarm
on these matters. They deplore us,
ers" or lost followers, OF this and the
other fine cause. But they do not
understand. The thought is deeper
and stronger in US now. perhaps, than
when it was visible at the surface and
made more noise. We are beginning
to realize the uselessness of perpetual
~ talking, that is all. If there is q
thing to be said we perfer to wait and
say it only when and where it will hit
something or somebody.
Moreover, if the youngsters will OBJ
serve us a little, they may see that we
say 8 number OF things -pretty forci
bly,. too-by simply taking them for
granted. They might follow us around,
A and B and G, and a half dozen more
OF us elders and listen to our talk for
whole week without ever hearing
from us a single argument or exhorta-
ton on the subject, say, Of the Intel
lectual Rights Of Women, or the Ras-
cality of Thick-and- Thin Partisans,
or the Curse OF the Ignorant Vote.
But they would soon notice that what
we quietly take for granted in our talk
would furnish number of tolerably
strong creeds or platforms. They
might come to the conclusion, too,
that this quiet taking ofcertain things
for granted by sensible and vigorous
men and women is not to be despised,
as working force, in comparison
with whole parlorsfull OF vociferous
clatter.

Douglass and TheO-
dore Triton in Paris.

London Letter. .--
Fred. Douglass and his wife have
been in Paris this winter-for that
matter may be there still-and have
received much polite attention from
section of the American colony
there. Douglass and Theodore Tilton
had been friends in the old days, and
naturally they went about a good
deal together now that they were met
again. The two heavy, large-featured,
distinguished looking men, with their
massive heads of white hair, attracted
very general notice on the boulevards.
One day they dined together at a.
restaurant and talked together for a
long time. A Frenchman sat near and
watched them attentlvely. A day or
two afterward Mr.. Tilton came alone
to this Gale. The Frenchman, after
some hesitation, approached him and
politely asked permission to put a.
question. Mr.. Tilton said, Certainly,
if you will speak slowly, tor my French
is still very imperfect" Then the
stranger said: "When I saw you and
your brother together here, although [
could of course, understand nothing
that you said, | made up my mind,
from the refined meditation of your
voices, that you must both be ora
tors. | should like to ask if in England
it is usual to have two brothers 20
equally gifted and experienced in pub
lie speaking"
Mr.. Tiltonis passing now, he tells his
friends, the most peaceful and content
ed years OF his life. It is three years
since be domiciled himselfin Paris, and
he will probably end his days there. He
has floor in q grand old mansion,
once the home OF the Dues de, Nem-
ours, an ancient building on the lie de
Paris, back Of Notre Dame, in the
very heart of historic associations.
Here he spends much of his time, writ
ing, reading, living happily within
himself. For the rest, he is free to
dine wherever his vagrant fancy die
tates, toind companionship wherever
he chooses. fancy that no dreams Of
fame or of especial achievement
come now to Mr.. Tilton. The work
now upon which he is engaged is I'M
derstood to be ephemeral in charac-
ter-done as much for the sake OF oc-
cupation and mental relief as any
thing else. His chief interest is to like
his life and to keepit smooth, nnevent-
full, restful, within the compass of sim
pie desires and pleasant associations.

mon tin slop- bucket to catch the drip
pings, and over the knob at the top
is turned jelly tumbler with a thick
and ragged rim. It is used as q
drinking glass.
CO... Crooks room is large, airy and
well lighted. 1t has good carpet,
two or three desks and little safe,
in which is kept the money which
runs the White House. A fire blazes
in the fireplace, and in front of this
lies another Smyrna rug, the binding
OF which is badly frayed. Who sleeps
IN this room | do not know, but a
folding bed, with q plate-glass front,
arranged so that it looks like a
wardrobe, stands in one corner Of
the room, and close inspection will
show the bedclothes looking out be-
tween the cracks.
Col. Lamont has a very fair room,
and it is moderately furnished. There
is a bookcase at one side, and at DIFF
ferent parts Of the room two revolving
bookcases made ofwalnut, which prob
ably cost SIG apiece. There are china
spittoons in this room, and the furni-
ture is upholstered in red leather. La
mont has a chair of state big enough
for the fattes king that ever sat upon
a throne. His desk is big flat wal
nut one, and it is usually covered with
papers, and the colonelis a very hard
worked man. Beside him at another
desk sits Col. Henley, the assistant
private secretary, who is always writ
ing or opening letters. He opens hun
dreds Of letters Il day, and if he had O.
| cent for each word he writes he would
be one OF the richest men iii America.
Into Col. Lamont's room there are
doors entering from the cabinet room
| at the right, and the clerks rooms at
the left. The clerks rooms look like
| well-furnished law Offices, and two or
three clerks are here constantly busy.
Col. Lamont has little den in a
room off from Col. Crooks, where
there is q telegraph Office and a tele-
phcne, and a man working at the type
writer. When Lamont is very busy
he shuts himself up in this, and he is
as hard to get at as though he were
out OF the city. The cabinet room
and that OF the President are, of
course, better furnished than those
I have SO far described. President
Cleveland works behind a desk which
was a present from Queen Victoria,
and around him hang beautiful pict-
ures, and at his right hand blazes
a bright fire. At his back are windows
giving a magnificent view of the
Patomac and the Virginia hills, and
in the shelves OF the bookcases around
the walls is the White House library.
There is an elevator in the White
House, though few people know it, and
the old house has as many curious
hooks and corners as you will find IN
the curiosity shop Of some 'sOld Nor
tality.' The old house has outlived
its usefulness as a place OF residence.
1t should be turned into offices, and
congress should give an appropriation
big enough to refurnish the business
part Of it. The president should have
a residence apart from it, and he
should have a chance to get away
from his work like any other man OF
business.
